My current focus is mainly the master bath/shower/tub/potty.
Hand held shower head and an extra holder to hang it up near the shower seat so I can sit to shower when I want to.

Extra grab bar on the wall near guest shower so my guests don't fall and break a hip.

Rubber thresholds (made out of old tires)that I got off Amazon for the garage-to-kitchen door and the lanai-living room slider so I don't trip on the thresholds.

Totally disagree with you!
Thief these days know that there are many wimps that make it easy for them to steal their property especially in a senior community, a gun is absolutely needed for personal security.
Heard this one awhile back...supposed to be true.

Grandma gets stopped for speeding. During the course of the conversation Grandma informs the cop that she has a permit to carry. The cop asks if she is carrying.

"Well, yes", Grandma says. "I have a .380 auto in my purse".

The cop asks if that is the only gun she has. Grandma admits to having a 9 mm in the glove compartment...and adds, as an afterthought, that she has a .357 magnum under the front seat.

"Lady, what are you afraid of?" the officer inquires.

Grandma looks the cop right in the eye and says "not one ___ ____ thing!"

No guns, no big dogs, and no grab bars. But....

I put the Tanqueray and tonic on the counter top so I never have to reach up, or squat down.

THREAD HIJACK ALERT!

Have you tried "Aviation American Gin"?

Not to knock Tanqueray, but Aviation is amazing...

Add to that, Ryan Reynolds is a brilliant marketer...
